The Caspar Self Retaining Retractor is a premier cervical spine system designed for anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF).

Product Description

The Caspar Self Retaining Retractor is an internationally acclaimed spinal surgical retractor system engineered specifically to provide stable, hands-free soft-tissue and visceral displacement during anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) and cervical corpectomy. Designed with a double-hinged scissor frame that drops handles laterally away from the neck, this system allows spine surgeons to maintain continuous medial-lateral counter-traction without obstructing the microscopic line of sight or fluoroscopic imaging.

Built to clinical framework specifications, this Caspar Self Retaining Retractor complete set ($649) features an articulated double-hinged shank scissor chassis governed by an integrated screw lock and ratchet locking lever. Handcrafted from premium operating room-grade German stainless steel, the modular system includes a manual adjustment key along with a detachable lateral blade system configured with a 38 mm standard working depth. The modular blade inventory combines semi-sharp pronged blades (selectable in 2-prong, 3-prong, or 4-prong styles to anchor securely into the longus colli muscles) and elongated Caspar flat blade / hook modules that safely retract the esophagus and trachea medially.

Forged with an anti-glare satin matte finish, Retractor Maker produces the Caspar Self Retaining Retractor to withstand repetitive hospital autoclave cycles, providing neurosurgical operating suites and orthopedic spine centers worldwide with unmatched mechanical stability, corrosion resistance, and complete autoclave durability.
